20 books finished in 2012: Imagine

Why are you reading this book?I needed something to read on my second flight home, and picked this up in the airport. The cover was pretty, the topic seemed interesting, and I remembered the author’s name from RadioLab – I so rarely pick up books on a whim anymore, it was fun to choose!

What is the first line?Bob Dylan looks bored.

Describe the book in haiku form:
creativity
sometimes needs structure to thrive
(like in a haiku)

What will you do with it now?
keep for referencex keep and loan out to friends x
keep to read again & again & again
post to paperbackswap.com
throw it away

Anything else you’d like to say?Apparently, the day after I bought this book, it was recalled by the publisher. The author fabricated some of the Bob Dylan quotes. It was especially interesting that I discovered this before finishing the book, while reading his chapter about Shakespeare, plagiarism, and the ways copyright laws limit creativity.
